The governor has come and gone. Few people turned out to hear him, probably under 400 with a county population of over 6,0001 It is no wonder that Dade has not been honored more often by a visit from her Chief Executive. Those of you who didn’t come missed a very special occasion The governor shook hands and spoke a word or two with almost everyone present. His person¬ ality is that of a neighbor and friend. No back slapping, loud talking and insincere pleasant¬ ries. He is a quiet kind of per" and appeared attentive to what son and appeared attentive to what w r as being said to him- In his talk he outlined his road building program and the development of State Parks for Georgia. You, yourself know that when you have a day off or take a holiday you choose a place for fishing, swimming or just plain rest in a beautiful spot We know that the choice of the place we go may depend upon the condition of the road which is to take us there. We also know that we spend some money on this holiday. It is the gover¬ nor's hope that the State Parks in Georgia can be made into these holiday places with good highways to take us to them- The money we, our neighbors, and our neighbors throughout the country spend at these parks would bring in money to the state treasury and as the gover¬ nor said, “then Georgia would really blossom like the rose.’’ RECREATION CENTER? Dallin in Dade last week carried a plea for a Community House and a sound recreation program. It doesn’t seem as though it should be the teen¬ agers who have to ask for this but it seems to apply here as well as elsewhere that the reason the children don’t have a suitable place for recreation is inertia on our part. I have talked to many parents throughout the county and everyone is in favor of the idea but—• Quoting from the Georgia Citizens Council whose report we carried in full in the June 12 issue of The Times—“there are 708,000 boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 17 in Georgia. Two-thirds of them are not members of any of the thirteen youth serving agencies operating in Georgia.” The 4H clubs, Future Farmers and Future Homemakers of A- merica which throughout the state report only 19% of this 7 to 17 population is Dade’s only youth serving agency-—“This is indicative of the complacency behind which we all are hiding— We are shirking our responsibil¬ ity.” The children seem gotten tired of waiting—around the Masonic Hall in Trenton is considerable land which the Ma¬ sons have already voted could be used for a recreation center. When the children approached the Masons about also using their hall, the Masons published notice of a called meeting to hear what was asked of them. At this called meeting on Tuesday night, there were about 40 teen-agers, a few parents and a goodly number of Masons present—as one of the Masons expressed it. "Matters have come to a pretty bad pass when the children instead of their elders have to take it upon themselves to petition for a Community House.” During the meeting it was gratifying to see the response these children received—of course, money would be needed but TIME from the parents is also needed. At last it does look as though this Time may be forthcoming. The children were charged with getting all the children they could to come to a meeting and get organized- Parents — and adults — let's back our children. This is a lit¬ tle beginning of a great*big pro¬ ject. It is a good one and it is right for our children to have a place where they may gather for games and recreation under proper adult supervision. Let’s make this project grow until by some means it can em¬ brace ail of Dade’s children— give a little of your Time in or¬ der to keep our children from having to seek their pleasures, we know not where. MR. LANHAM AND THE TAFT-HARTLEY LABOR BILL In order that our readers may have both sides of a question of interest, we are publishing Mr. Lanham’s complete letter, which is self-explanatory: Washington, D. C., July 1st, 1947. Mrs. Catherine Morrison The Dade County Times Trenton, Georgia Dear Mrs. Morrison: I note with interest that you copied the editorial or news story from one of the Dalton papers about my vote on the so-called Taft-Hartley Bill- I noted with special interest the query pro¬ pounded by you in your editorial as to whether or not I would claim that I voted against the Bill because it was sponsored by the Republican Party. As a matter of fact ,1 never vote for or against a measure because it is sponsored by any party. I try to determine what is best as each bill comes up for action and vote accordingly. I voted against the anti-labor Bill because I thought its total effect would be to discourage and ham¬ per union organization and cause I believed it would reduce to ineffectiveness the one wea¬ pon the working people have for bettering their pay and working conditions. As the case is always with what is called “omnibus bills,” such as this, there is a mixture of much that is both good and bad- We Congressmen simply have to determine the total effect of the Bill and de¬ termine whether or not the good or bad out-weighs and vote ac¬ cordingly. I read your paper with inter¬ est and am always happy to have you express your views. May I thank you for publishing my reports each week? I assure you I appreciate this very much. The people seem to appreciate my willingness to make these reports as I am constantly being told that they enjoy reading them. I regret very much that I was not able to accept the invitation of the Lions Club to be with you on the Fourth of July. Sincerely yours, Henderson Lanham.

This little anecdote was pub¬ lished on the front page under the heading “Angels Don’t Chew Tobacco:” A Methodist minister, the Rev. Mr. H-----, was a good man, but rough in his way, and very fond of chewing tobacco. One day he was caught in a shower in Illinois, and going to a rude cabin nearby, he knocked at the door. A sharp-looking old dame answered his summons. He asked for shelter. “I don’t know you,” she re¬ plied, suspiciously. “Remember the Scriptures,” said the dominie- "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels.” “You needn't say that,” quickly replied the lady, “No angel would come down here with a big quid of tobacco in his mouth.” She shut the door in his face, leaving the good man to the mercy of the rain and his own reflections.

LOU KILLIAN CHARLES C. SMITH, JR- No, 7, September Term, 1947, Dade Superior Court Suit for partition of lands by sale and division of proceeds. NOTICE To: William D. Jacoway, Geo. H. Jacoway. Mrs. Lou Jacoway Killian and Charles C. Smith, Jr. non-resident defendants in the above styled cause:— You are hereby notified that on June 9, 1947, Mary Frances Williams filed in the Superior Court of Dade County, Georgia, County Agent’s Column The amount of labor needed to produce a crop, and the feed it will provide should be considered among steps to keep farm pro¬ duction costs in line. This sim¬ ply means making the most of feeds that give most nutrients for the least labor. Certainly this means making the most of good pastures, since good pas¬ tures produce more feed per day’s work than any other crop. It takes about six and one half days’ work to produce an acre, or approximately 4,230 pounds of digestible nutrients per acre, or approximately 650 pounds per day’s work. A crop of oats yielding 70 bushels per acre requires about three days labor and contains about 3,400 pounds of digestible nutrients, or about 1,100 pounds per day’s work. Average pasture, which takes about one-half day’s work per acre, yields about 500 pounds of digestible nutrients per acre, or about 1,000 pounds per day’s labor. Pastures capable of sup¬ porting a cow per acre require about one day’s labor per acre per year and yield about 2,000 pounds of digestible nutrients per acre and per day’s work. While pastures produce digestible nu¬ trients at a low rate per acre, they produce at a high rate per day’s work because so little labor is needed. Development of good pastures, therefore is one of the best means of offsetting high farm labor costs by low- cost production, or high pro¬ duction per worker. Indications are now that less than one-half of the tractor owners in Dade County are tak¬ ing advantage of the gasoline tax refund to which they are entit¬ led- Mr. F. C. Leonard, field agent of the tax unit, State of Georgia, will be in Trenton, July 18th, at the Court House, at 10 o’clock for the purpose of assisting farmers in making application for tax refund certificate. Farmers who are burning gaso¬ line in their tractors should take advantage of this oppor¬ tunity. Permits now held by farm¬ ers have run out and it is neces¬ sary that they be renewed. This can be done with Mr. Leonard or application can be secured from the County Agent's office.
